Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Xibeeriyoos Qeesaar moʼee waggaa kudha shanaffaatti jechuunis yommuu Phonxoos Phiilaaxoos bulchaa Yihuudaa turetti, Heroodis bulchaa Galiilaa ture; obboleessi isaa Fiiliphoos bulchaa Ixuriyaasii fi Xiraakonitiis, Lisaaniiyaas immoo bulchaa Abileeniis turan;
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
yeroo sana Haannaasii fi Qayyaaffaan luboota ol aantota turan. Dubbiin Waaqaa gammoojjii keessatti gara Yohannis ilma Zakkaariyaas dhufe.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Innis dhiifama cubbuutiif cuuphaa qalbii jijjiirrannaa lallabaa biyya naannoo Yordaanos hunda keessa deeme.
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!
Kunis isa kitaaba dubbii Isaayyaas raajichaa keessatti akkana jedhamee barreeffamee dha: “Sagalee nama gammoojjii keessaa iyyu tokkoo: ‘Karaa Gooftaa qopheessaa; daandii isaas qajeelchaa.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
Sululli hundi ni guutama; tulluu fi gaarri hundinuus gad deebifamu. Karaan jalʼaan ni qajeela; daandiin buʼaa baʼiinis wal qixxeeffama.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Sanyiin namaa hundinuus fayyisuu Waaqaa ni arga.’”
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Yohannisis warra harka isaatti cuuphamuuf dhufaniin akkana jedhe; “Isin ijoollee buutii nana! Dheekkamsa dhufu jalaa akka baqattaniif eenyutu isinitti hime?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Egaa ija qalbii jijjiirrannaa mirkaneessu naqadhaa. Isin, ‘Abbaan keenya Abrahaamii dha’ ofiin jechuu hin jalqabinaa. Waaqni dhagoota kanneen irraa Abrahaamiif ijoollee kaasuu akka dandaʼu ani isinittan himaatii.
9 And already also is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast into the fire.
Qottoon amma iyyuu hidda mukkeenii irra kaaʼameera; mukti ija gaarii hin naqanne hundinuus muramee ibiddatti darbatama.”
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Namoonni sunis, “Yoos maal haa goonuu ree?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
11 He answered and said to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
Yohannisis deebisee, “Namni uffata lama qabu isa homaa hin qabneef haa qoodu; kan nyaata qabus akkasuma haa godhu” jedheen.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Qaraxxoonni cuuphamuu dhufanii, “Yaa barsiisaa, nu hoo maal haa goonu?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Innis, “Waan ajajamtan caalaa walitti hin qabinaa” jedheen.
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying, And what must we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no one, accuse no one falsely, and be content with your wages.
Loltoonnis akkasuma, “Nu immoo maal haa goonu ree?” jedhanii isa gaafatan. Innis, “Humnaan nama irraa maallaqa hin fudhatinaa; sobaan nama hin himatinaa; mindaan keessan isin haa gaʼu” jedheen.
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Namoonni sun hawwiidhaan eegaa turan; hundi isaaniis, “Yohannis kun inni Kiristoos taʼinnaa laata?” jedhanii garaa isaaniitti yaadaa turan.
16 John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
Yohannis akkana jedhee isaan hundaaf deebii kenne; “Ani bishaaniin isin cuupha. Garuu kan na caalaa jabaa taʼe tokko ni dhufa; ani hidhaa kophee isaa illee hiikuun naaf hin malu. Inni Hafuura Qulqulluu fi ibiddaan isin cuupha.
17 His winnowing-shovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
Innis oobdii isaa qulqulleessee gombisaa isaatti qamadii galfachuudhaaf afarsaan isaa harka isaa jira; habaqii garuu ibidda hin dhaamneen guba.”
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Yohannisis dubbii biraa baayʼeedhaan namoota gorsee wangeelas isaanitti lallabe.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done,
Heroodis bulchaan garuu yommuu sababii inni niitii obboleessa isaa Heroodiyaas fuudhee fi sababii hammina inni hojjetee ture kaan hundaatiif Yohannis isa ifate,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
hammina isaa hunda irratti dabalee Yohannisin mana hidhaatti galchee itti cufe.
21 And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the heaven was opened,
Yeroo namoonni hundinuu cuuphamaa turanitti, Yesuusis ni cuuphame. Utuu inni kadhachaa jiruu samiin banamee,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”
Hafuurri Qulqulluun bifa gugeetiin mulʼatee isa irratti gad buʼe. Sagaleen, “Ati Ilma koo isa ani jaalladhuu dha; ani sitti nan gammada” jedhu tokkos samii irraa ni dhufe.
23 And Jesus himself was, when he began, about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli,
